The delegates who sat at the convention would probably be re-convened and allowed to vote their consciences after several candidates did a dog and pony show for them. Or the party could push to have the VP candidate moved up, and let him/her choose someone else for the VP slot.

I don't know anything about the process. I was just guessing. I think it's a safe guess that the party would decide. It's probably a safe guess that, should he become disabled first, he could designate a successor to certain of his committed delegates and that the states would have a role in others. Beyond that, dunno. We used to have "back room" conventions rather than coronation conventions. Don't know that it would be so bad to do that again. I kind of miss them. Perhaps the reason he looks sicker is his left chipmunk cheek. IIRC that's a function of surgery for a skin cancer.
